Pennebaker's concert film shot at London's Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973).

Marie Trintignant, tes rêves brisés

Eighteen years after her death, a poignant portrait of the formidable actress that was Marie Trintignant. No documentary has ever been devoted to the career of Marie Trintignant, whose tragic death at the hands of her partner unfairly overshadowed her career. In the form of a letter addressed to her daughter, Nadine Trintignant offers, eighteen years after her death, an intimate, fair and deeply moving portrait of this free-spirited and stubborn child of the ball, who, by starring alongside Patrick Deweare, Isabelle Huppert and Marcello Mastroianni, and shooting under the direction of Alain Corneau, Claude Chabrol, Pierre Salvadori and Samuel Benchetrit, left her burning imprint on cinema and theater alike. Archival footage, film and stage extracts provide a luminous account of the all-too-short life of this energetic woman, mother, actress and author.

40,000 Years of Dreaming

Australian-born filmmaker George Miller offers a personal view of Australian films. He suggests that they can be regarded as visual music, public dreaming, mythology, and song-lines. In extrapolating the idea of movies as song-lines he examines feature films under the following categories: songs of the land; the bushman; the convicts; the bush-rangers; mates and larrikins; the digger; pommy bashing; the sheilas; gays; the wogs; blackfellas; and urban subversion. He then concludes that these films can be thought of as "Hymns that sing of Australia."
